Q&A

How should I consider the placement of my backyard garden?

When starting a backyard garden, consider putting it in a spot that works for you and works for the garden as well. Ensure the place gets enough light, isn't completely shaded, and can receive rainwater.

What should I know about the way plants grow when planning my garden layout?

It's important to understand how each plant grows to determine where to place it in the garden. For example, indeterminate tomatoes and vining cucumbers will need space to grow up a trellis, while bush beans and bush cucumbers grow differently and may not require a trellis.

Why is it important to know how much space each plant needs?

Knowing how much space plants require helps to avoid overcrowding and ensures that each plant has enough room to thrive, thereby providing you with a better harvest. For instance, some plants like Brussels sprouts or zucchini may need several square feet each.

Which plants should I keep in containers, and why?

Some plants like mint, thyme, and strawberries have runner vines and can quickly spread if not contained. Keeping these plants in containers prevents them from taking over your garden space.

What is the garden checklist that can help me start my dream vegetable garden?

The garden checklist is a free download that outlines how to start your dream vegetable garden in eight simple steps. It can be found in the description bar of the video.

Why should I plant what I like to eat in my garden?

Planting what you and your family enjoy eating ensures that the produce from your garden doesn't go to waste. It makes sense to grow an appropriate amount of each plant based on your consumption rather than what looks appealing at the garden center.

How can setting up a sprinkler or drip irrigation system benefit my gardening?

Using a sprinkler or drip irrigation system can save time and ensure your plants are consistently watered. This is especially helpful when you're on vacation, busy, or simply forget to water the plants by hand.
